Did religious references in Prometheus annoy you as well? Here are some cake plugins to make you happy!

Actually, Prometheus has nothing to do with these plugins, but hell, making them took the yuckiness of the movie out of my head. I'm still pissed though.

Feedback plugin

Cake 2.x is so much better than the previous versions, and this plugin is the proof. Not because it's something fantastically amazing (it is), but because it's was actually simple to create.

So what is Feedback plugin? It enables you to plug in comments and rating stars into your existing applications with virtually no work at all, and more importantly, with virtually no modifications to your app.

While commenting, users have the "remember my info" option so they don't have to enter it again. Also, comments also have gravatar integrated (using Goodies). For more info and instructions, view the README (lots of info there).

The only major issue at the moment is the lack of spam filter for comments, which will be solved some day by:

Naive Bayes Classifier plugin

So yes, this plugin may not be as interesting to many of you out there, but I've decided to publish it anyway. The plugin is obviously a Naive Bayes classifier.

I'm hoping to develop a pure CakePHP anti-spam plugin some day, and this plugin will certainly be a part of it. However, you don't have to use it for spam, because it's not spam-specific. You can use it for whatever your classification needs are, because it was written as a general classifier.

I have tried to implement your Feedback plugin on my application, I am having an error on my view pages that says "Feedback.CommentsComponent could not be found". Can you please highlight where im getting lost?

Did you activate the plugin in your application? It's mentioned in the readme instructions in case you've missed it.

Yes, i have activated the two plugins and the error that i am getting now is
Strict (2048): Declaration of CommentableBehavior::setup() should be compatible with ModelBehavior::setup(Model $model, $config = Array) [APP\Plugin\Feedback\Model\Behavior\CommentableBehavior.php, line 42]

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance

If i can have a way of removing this error message that would be awesome. Please not i didn't change my CommentableBehavior.php file were the error seems to be coming from.
